SOLUTION Sol. Sol. Given, L 00 m H C 00 m F When the circuit is triggered by 0 m s ulse, the thyristor is short circuited and so, we consider I C Im sin wt Therefore, voltage stored across caacitor is V C C # I C dt Vm ^ -cos wth where w is angular frequency obtained as w 4 0 LC 00 # -6 b # 0 l So, T 00 ms f w As I C Im sin wt oscillates between - ve and - ve half cycle so, circuit is conducting for only half of cycle and thyristor is oen after half cycle. i.e., the conduction eriod T 00 ms Otion (D) is correct. Given, the rated armature current I arated ^ h 0 A as rated armature voltage V arated ^ h 50 volt Also, for the armature, we have L a 0. mh, R a W and T 50% of T rated ^T " Torqueh So, we get I 6 Ia^rotatedh@ ^05. h 0A N Nrated, I f I frated " rated field current At the rated conditions, E V-Ia ^ rated h Ra 50-0^h 30 volt For given torque, V E+ IaRa 30 + ^0h^h 40 V Therefore, choer outut 40 V or, D^00h 40 or, D 40 07. 00 (D " duty cycle)
Sol. 3 Sol. 4 Sol. 5 Here, as the current from source of V is the same as that ass through inductor. So, the eak to eak current rile will be equal to eak to eak inductor current. Now, the eak to eak inductor current can be obtained as I L (Peak to Peak) Vs DT s L where, V s " source voltage volt, L " inductance 00mH 0-4 H, D " Duty ration 04., T S " switching time eriod of MOSFET and f s " switching frequency 50 khz Therefore, we get I L^Peak to Peakh 04. 0-4 # # 3 0.9 A 50 # 0 This is the eak to eak source current rile. Otion (B) is correct. Here, the average current through the caacitor will be zero. (since, it is a boost converter). We consider the two cases : Case I : When MOSFET is ON i c - i 0 (i 0 is outut current) (since, diode will be in cut off mode) Case II : When MOSFET is OFF Diode will be forward biased and so i c Is - i0 (I s is source current) Therefore, average current through caacitor ic I c I cavg, + DTs^- ioh+ ^ -DhTs^I s-ioh & 0 (D is duty ratio) Solving the equation, we get I i0 s...() ^ - D h Since, the outut load current can be given as i V0 Vs/ -D / 0. 6 0 A R R 0 Hence, from Eq. () I i0 s A D 06. 5-3 Otion (D) is correct. We consider the following two cases : Case I : When Q, Q ON In this case the + ve terminal of V 0 will be at higher voltage. i.e. V0 > 0 and so i0 > 0 (i.e., it will be + ve). Now, when the Q, Q goes to OFF condition we consider the second case. Case II : When Q 3, Q 4 ON and Q, Q OFF : In this condition, - ve terminal of alied voltage V 0 will be at higher otential i.e., V0 < 0 and since, inductor ooses the change in current so, although the olarity of voltage V 0 is inversed, current remains same in inductor i.e. I > 0 fs 0.
Sol. 6 Sol. 7 This is the condition when conduction have been asked. In this condition ^V0> 0, I0> 0h since, IGBT s can t conduct reverse currents therefore current will flow through D 3, D 4 until I D becomes negative. Thus, D 3 and D 4 conducts. Otion (D) is correct. When Q 3, Q 4 is switched ON, initially due to the reverse current it remain in OFF state and current asses through diode. In this condition the voltage across Q 3 and Q 4 are zero as diodes conduct. Hence, it shows zero voltage switching during turn-on Otion (D) is correct. The circuit of a single-hase half controlled bridge rectifier with RL load and free wheel diode is shown as below. The voltage current wave forms are shown in figure below. We note that, for continuous load current, the flywheel diode conducts from to + a in a cycle. Thus, fraction of cycle that freewheel diode conducts is a/.
